Whether you are hiking the Appalachian Trail or traveling by car you should not miss
the opportunity to fish the Nolichucky River.
The Nolichucky is a world class small mouth bass river with some small mouths
exceeding 4 pounds.  You may also find musky, crappie and catfish.  During the months
when the water is cooler brown trout may be caught and rainbow trout are abundant.
The Erwin National Rainbow fish hatchery is only 7 miles from our hostel.  This
hatchery was established in 1894 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  Last year the
hatchery produced over 13 million eggs from four strains to support their fish
management programs.
After approximately two and a half years the breeder fish are delivered by truck to the
Chestoa Bridge only a few yards from our hostel and cabins.  They have been pond fed,
are bred for beautiful color and can easily weigh 3 to 4 pounds.
Tennessee offers annual, 10 day and 3 day licenses.  Children under the age of 13 need
no licenses.  Licenses are sold by local merchants and instant licenses are available 24
hours, 7 days a week from the Wildlife Resources Agency.  1-888-814-TWRA or online at
 http://www.wildlifelicense.com/tn/

We provide easy access to the riverbanks for miles in each direction.
